A young guy from Minnesota moves to Florida and goes to a big "everything under one roof" department store looking for a job.
The Manager says, "Do you have any sales experience?"
The kid says, "Yeah , I was a salesman back in Minnesota."
Well , the boss liked the kid and gave him the job.
"You start tomorrow, I'll come down after we close and see how you did."
his first day on the job was rough, but he got through it. After the boss came down. "So how many customers bought something from you today?"
The kid says "One"
The boss says, "Just one? Our sales people average 20 to 30 customers a day, How much was the sale for?"
The kid says "$101,237.65".
The boss says " $101,237.65? What the heck did you sell?
The kid says, " First, I sold him a small fish hook. Then I sold him a medium fish hook. Then I sold him a larger fish hook. Then I sold him a new fishing rod. Then I asked him where he was going fishing and he said down the coast, So I told him he was going to need a boat, so we went to the boat department and I sold him a twin engine Chris Craft.
Then he said he did not think his Honda Civic would pull the boat so I took him down to the automotive department and I sold him a 4X4 Expedition."
The boss said " A guy came in here to buy a fish hook and you sold him a BOAT and a TRUCK?"
The kid said "No , the guy came in here to buy Tampons for his wife, and I said , "Dude, your weekend's shot, you should go fishing. "

"Like the wind crying endlessly through the universe, Time carries away the names and the deeds of conquerors and commoners alike. And all that we are, all that remains, is in the memories of those who cared we came this way for a brief moment." Harlan Ellison

I think crackup that is a lot of things.
The Three Laws of Robotics:
1. A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
